What are the penalties for LSD possession in California?

On Behalf of Turner Law | Jul 28, 2023 | Drug Charges |

If you are curious about the legal ramifications of possessing Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, commonly known as LSD, you have come to the right place. LSD is a powerful hallucinogenic substance known for its ability to induce altered perceptions and profound sensory experiences.

While it was once widely used in therapeutic settings, it was later classified as a Schedule I controlled substance under the United States Controlled Substances Act of 1970. This classification signifies that LSD is considered to have a high potential for abuse and lacks accepted medical use. The possession, sale, distribution and manufacture of LSD is strictly prohibited. Violating these laws can lead to serious penalties, ranging from fines to imprisonment, depending on the circumstances and the individual’s prior criminal record.

Possession of LSD in California

The penalties for LSD possession vary depending on the amount of the substance found in a person’s possession and their prior criminal history. It is crucial to understand that any amount of LSD possession is considered a serious offense.

If you are found with a small quantity of LSD (enough for personal use), you may be charged with a misdemeanor. A conviction for possessing a small amount of LSD can result in up to one year in county jail and a $70 fine.

Additionally, certain aggravating factors can lead to enhanced penalties. For instance, selling LSD to minors or possessing LSD within a certain distance of schools, parks or churches may result in harsher sentencing.

The penalties for LSD) possession can be serious, depending on various factors like those we’ve discussed here. If you or someone you know is facing LSD possession charges, seeking legal guidance is paramount.
